Allow custom moods on Stress Management tile

I think there are not enough moods/emotions available to choose from in the mood log functionality.
It lacks some essential basic moods like 'tired' or 'angry'. I think it would be the best experience for the user if one could set up custom moods and corresponding Emojis and then use the mood log in a matter that fits their needs.

I totally agree, 

The emojis I can choose from really dont reflect my mood at all most of the time. 

I usually use satisfyed or calm, when im feeling positively neutral but some emotion like "Tired" or "exhausted" are really missing!  Please add more emojis for us @Fitbit 🎀

I agree, feeling excited should be one of the possibilities.

Please consider increasing this emotions list

Hello, I completely agree:
- I find that when we have a response from the body, it would be great to add the possibility of putting a note to be able to put what irritated us or something else.
- It would also be great to have the possibility to put "undecided" or something else, in case of emotions you don't really know what you feel.

Completely agree and this has been an issue for a long time. I saw other community posts about this that were closed and marked as solved… also, I don’t see a vote button in this specific post, only comments. 

did they fix it ??

Nope, still stuck with only a basic number of moods to choose from and almost none of them ever really match how I feel when I get prompted because of a Body Response.  I don't even need custom moods, just actually provide more options, it's not rocket science. Where's my "Exhausted", "Tired", "Bored", "Fine", etc.  even just adding those 4 options would make it way more useful.  "Fine" and "Bored" are not the same as "Content" at all, and most days I'd say I'm fine or bored more than content and most of the time I see my body response alerts it's because I'm exhausted at the end of work, woke up tired and I'm trying to get motivated and moving.  None of those really fall under me feeling stressed.

Not sure why adding 4 additional options would be so hard for them.  I can understand why they wouldn't want a freeform field, that makes total sense to me from a programming perspective, but predefined options should be a cake to add.  I am a programmer so I do have some idea what I'm talking about, haha.

Custom moods would be a great addition. I agree that the ones provided do not cover even all of the basics.

As of today, on the Fitbit app, I am only seeing:

Excited, Happy, Content, Calm, Sad, Worried, Frustrated, Stressed

If I cannot create customer ones, I would at least like to be able to add feelings such as Tired / Exhausted, Pensive (I problem solve and think a lot at work, so I anticipate seeing some spikes here), Scared/Frightened, Anxious, Depressed, Angry, and Irritated.

The 8 that are provided cover only a handful of scenarios and are a little too generic for any serious tracking.

At present, I end up having to hit content or calm just because I cannot see a suitable mood, and this does not really reflect my state at the time.

Agreed! This feature is not useful if it barely covers the basics. A feelings wheel would be fantastic.
